## Resource

What does it take to launch something people actually love—and then keep it lovable as it grows?

Then Wharton’s Annie Wilson and Emory’s Ryan Hamilton explain The Growth Dilemma: Managing Your Brand When Different Customers Want Different Things, and why success can create its own strange set of problems. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at⁠ ⁠nextbigideaclub.com⁠⁠ ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
